My E3 was built in 8/1972 so "officially" it takes a 6-pin hazard. I went to look at the wiring because it goes-on every time the blinkers go on (meaning, the interior hazard switch blinks with the blinkers). I took a look and it's an 8-pin.
So, I thought hmm...this is an 8-pin and it's supposed to have a 6-pin. I didn't look closely at the wiring at that point. Got a 6-pin and realized I have more wiring than pins (it does not have a round harness-plug like my '72 2002.). So, then I thought it was just wired wrong.
I've looked and looked for wiring diagrams than show 8 wires or wire-pairs connected to an 8-pin hazard switch. They all show only 6 connections.
I'm missing something, just not sure what it is. A digram I can't find? Takes a 6-pin but you don't connect to all pins?
Side-note, there is a ninth wire connector, but that may go to defrost switch- about to check that out.
I have an inspection in the am, so I'm trying to get it working right before that (of course, now it won't work at all). Worst case, I go back to original state with it flashing when blinkers go on.
Changing a switch should be simple, right?
Thanks,
